Public Comment on such a matter Sheriff Bizzell stated while the Sheriff’s Office is seeing the aftereffects of littering in the County , it is difficult to catch people in the act , but the deputies

the County an average of 3,000 Sheriff Bizzell stated he expects to exceed his budget line item for that expense this fiscal year Sheriff Bizzell reported the State of North Carolina is researching a program in which he hopes will be enacted soon , whereby the State would offer container sites just for methamphetamine lab cleanup and the SBI would be responsible for delivering the materials to the container sites relieving the counties from that burden Sheriff Bizzell expressed his frustration with criminals making methamphetamine and then contaminating the rivers , streams , and ditches where ultimately the taxpayers will pay for the cleanup Sheriff Bizzell added it is not fair to the taxpayers and something needs to be done The Board thanked the Sheriff for the update PagePage

responsibility to visit all the long term care facilities in the County and inspect the conditions in which the residents live , assure that the residents ’ Bill of Rights are behind upheld and help residents with any other concerns The Nursing Home Board is also charged with documenting the visits and filing reports with the Ombudsman which are now available on the County’s website Mr Parker stated another component of their work is keeping the community informed about long term care and other issues affecting the elder population He added the mission is to serve as grassroots volunteer advocates for every resident that calls a long term care facility in Johnston County home Mr Parker noted currently there are 15 active Committee Members and the Committee is allowed to have up to 25 members Mr Parker recognized Committee Vice Chairman George Smith and Ombudsman Nancy Murphy in the audience Mr Parker reported currently there are 21 long term care facilities in the County with a total capacity for residents exceeding 1,100 He stated over the past year the Committee has seen changes including the opening of a new facility for family care while another family care center closed as well as there have been conversions in some of the facilities to create more memory care options which is a growing need Mr Parker added there have been expansions for rehab services in at least two of the facilities Mr Parker noted that some of the overall strengths in the County are the good community involvement from local Church and Civic Groups and that most of the facilities have dedicated and well trained staff Mr Parker informed the Board there is new management in some of the facilities which has proven to be good in most cases He explained during the past year , new legislation was enacted requiring infection control training for adult care home medication technicians and other staff that have hands on care of patients Mr Parker noted usual weaknesses that involve high staffing turnover , a lack of training in some of the facilities and aging facilities in need of repair or updating Mr Parker briefly updated the Board on the star rating system which is intended to allow people to compare facilities within the regions ; however , he stated the Committee’s findings are that the star ratings are not very informative and they only suggest using those ratings as one tool when selecting a facility for a family member or friend and not as a sole measure Mr Parker reported the Nursing Home Board Committee Teams , during the past year , conducted 65 facility visits spending approximately 1,400 hours on the visits which generated over 100 reports Mr Parker stated the reports focus on three primary areas including an assessment of the residents , the living accommodations , and the services the residents receive Mr Parker reported some of the residents ’ complaints involve the quality and portions of food , inadequate heating facilities , and family concerns about improper patient discharge from facilities Mr Parker noted that one facility was recently closed due to environmental conditions ; however , corrective measures were taken and that facility has since reopened He stated the Committee members are advocates at all times and continually work to resolve issues for the residents or refer the matters to the Ombudsman who in turn works with the appropriate State agencies for a resolution Mr Parker stated the Committee members continue to attend community events and distribute materials related to long term care He stated the Committee provides information to people who are selecting a facility for a family member as well as the members are available to speak to civic groups and or Churches He noted the Committee officers attended leadership training sessions conducted by the Ombudsman Program and from the sessions received special training in certain areas , shared experiences with other communities , and established a listserve so they can communicate with each other on universal problems Mr Parker stated they have updated the Strategic Plan that was put in place three years ago to include providing at least ten hours of continuing education credits for the members during the year He noted a primary problem the Nursing Home Board has is recruiting and retaining members as well as the lack of funds to reimburse the members for travel expenses He offered to answer any questions Upon a question by Commissioner Tony Braswell , Mr Parker confirmed that Brithaven has obtained a Certificate of Need for a 100 - bed facility to be located beside the Johnston Health Clayton Medical Center on Hwy 42 , but he is unsure if construction has begun The Board thanked Mr Parker for the update and thanked the
